Definitions
- This invention relates to flash thermography devices used in connection with turbines, and more particularly, to a flash thermography device having a flash enclosure that includes a flash source for heating a turbine component wherein the device also includes an infrared sensor for detecting thermal energy radiated by the turbine component to enable generation of an infrared image of the turbine component.
- a fluid is used to produce rotational motion.
- the turbine 10 includes a compressor section 12, a combustion section 14 and a turbine section 16 arranged along a horizontal center axis 18.
- the combustion section 14 includes a plurality of combustors 28 arrayed about the combustion section 14 that are in fluid communication with a combustion section 14 interior.
- Each combustor 28 includes a top hat portion 30 and a removable support housing 32.
- the compressor section 12 provides a compressed air flow to the combustion section 14 where the air is mixed with a fuel, such as natural gas, and ignited to create a hot working gas.
- the turbine section 16 includes a plurality of turbine blades 20 arranged in a plurality of rows.
- the hot gas expands through the turbine section 16 where it is directed across the rows of blades 20 by associated stationary vanes 22.
- the blades 20 are each configured as a blade assembly that is attached to a shaft that is rotatable about the center axis 18. As the hot gas passes through the turbine section 16, the gas causes the blades 20 and thus the shaft to rotate, thereby providing mechanical work.
- Each row of blades 20 and associated vanes 22 i.e. collectively, "airfoils" form a stage.
- the turbine section 16 may include four rows of blades 20 and associated rows of vanes 22 to form four stages.
- the gas turbine 10 further includes an exhaust cylinder section 24 located adjacent the turbine section 16 and an outer diffuser section 26 located adjacent the exhaust cylinder section 24.
- Sections of the turbine 10 that are exposed to the hot gases as the gases travel along a hot gas path in the turbine 10 may include a ceramic-based coating that serves to minimize exposure of the base metal of a component, such as an airfoil base metal, to high temperatures that may lead to oxidation of the base metal.
- a coating may be a known thermal barrier coating (TBC) that is applied onto a bond coating (BC) formed on the base metal.
- a turbine 10 is typically operated for extended periods.
- the TBC layer or both the TBC and BC layers may undesirably deteriorate or delaminate during operation of the turbine 10. This exposes the base metal to high temperatures, which may lead to oxidation of the base metal.
- a turbine is inspected at periodic intervals to check for wear, damage and other undesirable conditions that may have occurred with respect to various internal components.
- the TBC/BC layers are inspected to determine the degree of deterioration of the TBC/BC layers (i.e. remaining thickness of the layers) and other undesirable conditions.
- the turbine 10 is shut down and allowed to cool down, which takes a substantial amount of time.
- An inspection/evaluation team must then disassemble substantial portions of the turbine 10, such as an outer casing 34 and associated components, in order to gain access to a desired internal turbine component and perform an assessment or inspection of the turbine component.
- the current procedure for inspection is labor intensive, time consuming and expensive.
- a flash thermography device for generating an infrared image of a turbine component located inside a turbine.
- the device includes a flash enclosure having an aperture.
- a flash source is located in the aperture wherein the flash source generates a light pulse that heats the turbine component.
- the device also includes an infrared sensor for detecting thermal energy radiated by the turbine component wherein the radiated thermal energy is transmitted through the aperture to the infrared sensor to enable generation of an infrared image of the turbine component.

- a flash thermography device 40 for imaging a turbine component in accordance with an embodiment of the invention includes an infrared (IR) sensor portion 42 for detecting thermal energy in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- the IR sensor 42 is an IR camera having a lens 44 although it is understood that other types of IR sensors may be used.
- the IR sensor 42 may be an IR camera such as that available from FUR Systems, Boston, MA, US.
- the device 40 also includes a flash enclosure 46 having an enclosure aperture 48 that exposes the lens 44 to enable detection of thermal energy by the IR sensor 42.
- a flash source 50 is located around a periphery of the enclosure aperture 48, In an embodiment, the flash source 50 has an annular shape that includes a flash aperture 52 that is aligned with the enclosure aperture 48 and the lens 44.
- the flash source 50 may be configured as a flash tube although it is understood that other types of flash sources may be used.
- the flash enclosure 46 may also include a substantially cone shaped reflector 51 .
- the device 40 further includes a flash power supply 54 connected between a computer 56 and the flash source 50 by electrical connections 58.
- the flash source 50 is energized by the flash power supply 54 thereby causing the flash source 50 to emit a light pulse that heats a component, such as a turbine component.
- a portion of the thermal energy radiated by the component travels through the enclosure 48 and flash 52 apertures and is detected by the IR sensor 42.
- the IR sensor 42 generates IR images of the component based on the thermal energy radiated by the component.
- the IR sensor 42 may also be configured to obtain image data at other frequencies in addition to or in place of the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- the device 40 is configured to capture IR images of internal portions of a turbine 10.
- the combustion section 14 includes a plurality of combustors 28 arrayed about the combustion section 14 that are in fluid communication with a combustion section 14 interior.
- Each combustor 28 includes a top hat portion 30 and a removable support housing 32.
- a partial cross sectional view of the turbine 10 is illustrated wherein a selected support housing 32 is shown removed. Removal of the support housing 32 provides access to an opening 53 in the turbine 10 and thus a view of internal portions of the turbine 10.
- the device 40 is configured to capture IR images of internal portions of a turbine 10 as viewed through the opening 53 in the turbine 10.
- a view of internal portions of the turbine 10 is available through an opening 53 such as found in a pilot cone 60 of a combustor basket portion 62.
- the device 40 is sized to enable positioning of the device 40 in a recess of the top hat portion 30 such that the lens 44 is located adjacent to the opening 53 in the pilot cone 60. This enables the capturing of IR images of internal components of the turbine 10 as viewed by the device 40 through the opening 53 in pilot cone 60, for example, that are within a line of sight 64 (shown as dashed lines) of the device 40 such as at least one row 1 vane 66.
- the device 40 may be affixed by a mounting fixture using preexisting apertures 68 used for securing a support housing 32.
- the device 40 may be hand held by an operator. It is understood that other openings in the turbine 10 may be used to capture IR images of internal portions of the turbine 10.
- the flash source 50 is energized by the flash power supply 54 thereby causing the flash source 50 to emit a light pulse that heats the vane 66.
- the flash source 50 provides approximately 5000 to 6000 Joules of energy output to heat at least one vane 66.
- the duration of light pulse may depend on the thickness of a BC or TBC layer being inspected on vane 66.
- a portion of the thermal energy radiated by the vane 66 is then detected by the IR sensor 42.
- the TR sensor 42 generates IR images of the vane 66 based on the thermal energy radiated by the vane 66.
- the length of time used for detecting the radiated thermal energy is dependent upon the characteristics of the component that is being imaged.
- IR images of internal turbine components such as row 1 vanes 66, are obtained non- intrusively and without removal of the main casing 34 of the turbine 10.
- other components along a turbine a hot gas path may also be imaged such as transition components, blades and others.
- IR images of a component obtained by the device 40 provide sufficient detail of the component to enable evaluation by an inspection/evaluation team. Further, the device 40 generates IR images having sufficient detail to enable determination of a thickness of a BC or TBC layer formed on a component using known methods. Therefore, the current invention enables nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of turbine components. If there is significant damage to the BC/TBC layers, the inspection/evaluation team can quickly make a decision to call for maintenance in order to avoid damage of a turbine component due to loss of BC/TBC layers.
